When training, ensure you come prepared with all the items necessary to Shape your dog’s behavior. The basic items include:

1. Leash
2. Harness
3. Clicker
4. Rewards (treats or toys)
   Note:  If you do not have rewards for your dog, they will have very little incentive to follow your instruction, especially when you challenge them with difficult commands.
5. A playful attitude!

When you bring these 5 items into every training moment, you will be fully prepared to effectively Shape your dog’s behaviors towards responsiveness!
